SubjectRe: [PATCH] SubmittingPatches: clarify SOB tag usage when evolving submissions
I think it would be nice to have another tag for people who fix bugs
in the original patch. The Reviewed-by tag implies approval of the
whole patch and anyway reviewers don't normally comment unless they
see a bug. Maybe something like:

Contributor: Your Name <email@address.com>

So the tags for developers would be:

Signed-off-by: The patch went through you. Legal responsibility.
Acked-by: You know what you are talking about and approve.
Reviewed-by: You reviewed the patch and approve.
Contributor: You noticed or fixed a bug in the patch.

regards,
dan carpenter
